We of Save the Frompers! have been happily
recording a population boom in our favorite Little Folk. Due to the
efforts of imaginative people like you, more Noises in the Night are
being reported than ever before.
Many obstacles have been overcome. At first,
the acronym of our organizational name led to an unfortunate confusion
with science fiction, leading many people to dismiss our pleas on behalf
of the Fromper as mere stories, for entertainment only.
Not only have we overcome that obstacle, we
now find that independent groups are springing up all over the nation,
activated by people we have had no direct contact with. Isn't this exciting?
We have also had to deal with the usual competition
for the resource of Imagination: those who want to use Imagination for
war games (aka Flame Wars), erotica, business takeovers, poetry, political
promises, science fiction, and everything else besides Seeing Frompers.
Since Imagination is a resource that expands
by use, we have not found this a great obstacle. Our only real limits
are time, space, and human endurance -- but we're working on that.
But now we are meeting with one of the problems
of success itself -- a backlash Anti-Fromper movement. Yes, as long
as they were a tiny, weak and dying species, Frompers could safely be
ignored. But when they began to thrive, the Reactionaries appeared!
And the Predators!
We have learned of a booming business in Baby
Fromper Pelts. Only months ago, there were almost no Baby Frompers being
born. Now they must be hidden in ceiling cracks by their frantic parents,
as Predators stalk them!
Fromper Jokes have begun. A new derogatory
term is circulating -- "Fromp you!" In the atmosphere of Political Correctness,
Frompers have been determined to be The Last Safe Target.
We need your help more than ever. "Evil succeeds
when good men do nothing." When you hear an Anti-Fromper joke or reference,
speak up -- firmly, but kindly, speak up for decency.
